Eolos Hardware

Eolos uses high quality and reliability hardware. Depending on the installation type, different hardware configuration levels cover user application requirements from simple systems to full-featured industrial graded hardware, designed for 24/7 operation.

Sync to Asynch Hardware:

Synchronous communications is what is used in radar systems to exchange data. This is very common in applications where great reliability is needed. Synchronous communications are used also in aircraft black boxes (for downloading data), medical instruments etc.

Synchronous to asynchronous hardare converters can be used by Eolos.
Eolos was first used in Thessaloniki International airport Macedonia with the use of a simple RS232 synchronous to asynchronous converter.

External conversion makes it easy to install and also doesn't require any software support (drivers etc.) The version used at the airport supports sync speeds of 9600bps. More advanced versions are now used for asynchronous speeds up to 115Kbps.
All data input devices for Eolos support one way communications only, thus protecting the radar data source from receiving any harmful data.

Radar Data Dirstribution

In order to be able to provide multiple radar images to remote locations we use devices to extend both the number of receiver systems and their distance from the data source. Click on the image below for a full size schematic of how this works.
